Exclusive: Whistic Raises $12M Series A To Automate Security Reviews

Emergence’s Gordon Ritter and Carlotta Siniscalco will join Whistic’s board of directors as a part of this funding round. “We had a great experience meeting the Emergence team, and I think had a chance to spend even more time together than we would have, especially getting to know Gordon and Carlotta, who are joining our board,” Sorensen added. Many of the brands using the platform include Okta, Airbnb, Betterment, Qualtrics and Finicity. Customers have told Sorensen that Whistic has enabled them to take the process of reviewing security questionnaires—one that normally took 12 weeks—and shrink it down to two weeks. “With more data breaches happening and the more regulations, it requires you to pay attention to these third-party vendors,” he added.
